Areas

The neighbourhood consists of three distinct parts:Oud-Wyck, comprising the oldest built-up area, until 1867 surrounded by Maastricht's Medieval city wall.Stationsbuurt, the area west of the railway and Maastricht railway station, predominantly dating from the 19th century.Céramique, on the former factory grounds of Société Céramique south of Old Wyck, redeveloped during the 1990s/2000s. The area consists mostly of new-built apartment blocks, designed by international architects, and some restored factory buildings.
